(2 Thessalonians 2:1-2) However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we request of you 2 not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.

1. One identifying symptom of the modern Bethel based apostasy, like the principle in the prophecy above in verse 2, is the premature expectation of “Jehovah’s day” now rampant among deluded Jehovah’s witnesses. That comes from the modern Bethel authority as the “as though” “from us” apostle-like “lifted up” Bethel clergy spokesmen.

A. Obviously it is the “Governing Body” that now literally claims to be the “lifted up” pinnacle of Earth’s Christian “apostolic” presence and is the one most importantly to be tested as valid or in error:

(1 John 4:1) Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

A. Bethel also regularly primes Jehovah’s witnesses with “the end is any day now” premature expectation and hype though their own apostasy has yet to be revealed. Thus Bethel’s “inspired expression” is inspired, but not by God. (2Thess2:9, Zech3:1-3, 2Cor11:13-15);

2. We see in Paul’s prophecy from God, before describing the required apostasy and “man of lawlessness” prerequisite revelation in verses 3-4, there is something that is also warned of first: the main premature “the end” delusion of the apostasy which also aids its cover at Bethel.

3. The first warning the prophecy gives is of the premature “Jehovah’s Day” expectation that co-develops with the apostasy that is now blatant at apostate Bethel because the apostasy is connected to this main delusion’s use:

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-2) However, brothers, respecting the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we request of you 2 not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.

4. As we see, promoting writings and oral teachings “to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here” is an earmark of the apostasy as it manifests prior to the modern apostate full exposure in the temple judgment by God and Christ. (Mal3:1-5, Zech3:1-5); In this case the real signal apostasy is in the Bethel leadership, and their premature “the end” delusion now present at Bethel.

A. That delusion further distracts Jehovah’s witnesses and thus aids their cover and it is fully present in Bethel as they fail to point out their own apostasy must be judged, revealed and removed before the “day of Jehovah”. (1Pet4:17);

Modern Bethel is the ones today promoting a premature “end of the world” scenario to “effect that the day of Jehovah is here” to overly excite Jehovah’s witnesses with that delusion to also aid the planned (and also foretold) Bethel coup when it goes into further manifestations later.

5. Rather than perceive the coming temple judgment and its activation as the fully manifest signal that the true final cycle has begun, first (1Pet4:17), Jehovah’s witnesses can, in the required desolation (Dan8:13-14), misperceive those precursor developments as if they are the final events to lead quickly to “the end of the world” due to Bethel’s purposeful delusion priming. That will severely delay Jehovah’s witnesses when it hits because the betrayal will not only be difficult to accept and it will also take time to realize. (Dan8:14, Hos6:1-3, Matt12:39);

A. Thus Bethel has a delusion of subterfuge to aid them through the whole Bethel coup period of Daniel 8:13-14 and Jehovah’s witnesses will think it is “the end” while it transpires with this well prepared smokescreen of deception.

6. Now Jehovah’s witnesses deeply conditioned expectations can influence the perception of the true meaning of events coming soon. Now due to this false expectation, developments coming on Bethel can appear to be another set of events as falsely applied “prophecy fulfilling brothers!” from the Bethel deceivers as that over-hyped “the end” period activating.

7. That delusion and misperception will actually be covering up the apostasy and temple judgment “trampling” real events climaxing into Daniel 8:13-14 developments so Bethel can promote the delusion as long as possible while the Daniel 8:13 “trampling” proceeds. (Zech3:2); And that will delay Jehovah’s witnesses final awareness and final task eligibility (Rev10:11) as long as permitted by God. (Dan8:14, Zech3:2, Zech3:6-7);

Now we see why God shows this premature end delusion connection in this prophecy, it is more than just an innocent error or bad guess.

Bethel Apostasy and “Governing Body” of Lawlessness

1. Thus in the 2 Thessalonians 2 prophecy that feature of delusion and false expectations “as though” from anointed Christian authorities at Bethel is then connected to two more features of the criteria to identify the final apostasy that actually has to be revealed and judged prior to the real arrival of “Jehovah’s Day” at Armageddon.

2. Notice in the 2 Thessalonians 2 account progression, after the main Bethel premature end delusion is described, then the apostasy and the “man of lawlessness” dual prerequisite are both also described to be revealed in the claimant anointed “in the temple” public locale and more criteria of this signal apostate development is given.

3. Now we know the premature end delusion is promoted by this apostasy development and its main “man of lawlessness” anti-Christian guides now at Bethel:

(2 Thessalonians 2:3-4) Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called “god” or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god.

4. Now we have three features present at Bethel now: (1) premature end delusion, (2) apostasy and the lawless “man” defining the (3) “man of lawlessness” as a “body”. Their apostasy is undeniable by the convergence of all these earmarks even beyond that of Christendom, because Bethel’s premature “the end” expectation is the trademark of their modern ministerial hyping far more prominent in modern times than the long comatose Christendom former apostate development and judgment revelation. But note too, Christendom also has their own premature “rapture” expectation that will also fall flat with Bethel’s own premature end mythologies.

Importantly it will be shown in more prophecy Bethel achieves this delusion successfully because they are also covering up modern 8th King related prophetic fulfillments since 1990 that co-manifest with this apostasy in Daniel 8 and 11.

The revealing of the apostasy in final form fully, by means of the temple judgment, means the purpose is to make people aware of where it is all leading well before the arrival of Christ. In fact 8th King world government must arrive before Jesus Christ. In fact the “tribulation of those days” itself ends before Christ arrives (Matt24:29) and thus is not the “end of the world” even then, it arrives to 8th King world government first. That is the final cycle prophecy the Bethel apostasy is covering up and that is why their removal will open a final period of truthful prophetic clarification.

The Unusual Suspect: The 1976 Governing Body

1. Obviously we need to really dissect the “governing body” concept, its dictatorial emergence at Bethel (1976) and its modern rogue celebrity well dressed tyrants to understand exactly what the “man of lawlessness” guiding this modern JW apostasy really is and is really up to here. The “superfine apostle” cover is just a veneer that some JWs gobble up as if it was Christ and the twelve apostles themselves at Bethel. And therein lies the problem, the danger for being misled by such an act. Of course such a critical apostate development is going to be fully foretold by God in detail, the One Bethel is “set in opposition” to.

Bethel’s apostasy is fully exposed and detailed in the very prophecies they cover up.

2. The Bethel based lawlessness is highly significant, prophetic and far beyond the significance of Christendom error because of Bethel’s former “accurate knowledge”, their ministerial influence, anointed Christian ministerial responsibility, the last known prophetic truth’s development point, and their purposeful concealment of modern Daniel 11 “King North”/ 8th King truths that are now plainly obvious as inapplicable to the formerly assumed USSR totally defunct political entity. (Dan11:36, Dan11:30-45);

A. Thus the Bethel apostasy is far more serious and severe than is commonly realized and it will trigger a divine temple judgment accounting commensurate with the magnitude of their modern lawless record and 8th King internal collusion fully outlined in the very prophecies they divert attention away from.

People are going to eventually know, at global scale, when God is through with Bethel and its “Governing Body” and thus a strategic signal will also be established in the temple judgment. It will not be “the end” but for Bethel, it will in fact be the BEGINNING of the final multi-year cycle.

3. But we have a great red flag power grasp in 1976 to start to gauge the true nature and intent of this so-called “governing body”. They even started capitalizing their own title to “Governing Body” in 1971 as a little preview of their coming first “lift up” in 1976 with a new corporate designation in full capitalization. The Bethel “board of directors” power mongers were completing the initial positioning.

4. What we see from first the acceptance of the “governing body” concept is a gradual move by the Bethel corporate “board of directors” to incrementally align and position themselves as divine first for a dictatorial coup later, and so on, to the UN NGO and final coming Bethel coup-de-grace their final objective. Sly as a serpent is how Bethel has been transformed with little outward indication of its true internal state.

What we now see in hindsight is even the eventual first “Governing Body” power coup of 1976 was a literal first manifestation of the “lifting themselves over everyone” (2Thess2:3-4) right at Bethel and over the anointed temple “body” in public fashion first.

4. Now we see it is actually a human contrived additional and superimposed “government” “body” in that non-Biblical “governing” “body” which is just a self exalted worldly corporate “board of directors” seizing control of the Bethel ministry and applying scriptures to themselves to aid their acceptance. It is actually much like the Papacy. In reality, in retrospect, the “Governing Body” is the internal first cell of subversions early establishing its 1976 dictatorship to carry out more “set in opposition” operations later.

5. Of course this is also why the 1990 3rd UN placement tracking was fully lost after the 1945 2nd UN placement was fully and properly exposed in prophecy by Jehovah’s witnesses, we have the intervening lawless Governing Body coup of 1976 to have managed that diversion. (Rev17:8-11);

Why not continue the tradition of exposing UN placements as obviously all foretold by God?

6. Because the “Governing Body” 8th King allied implants and Bethel apostates in whatever Governing Body members they existed in, decided instead to join that 3rd United Nations presentation as UN NGO “non-governmental organization” global promoters, although being a governmental agency of God’s Kingdom. In the process they also must conceal the 3rd UN placement prophecy and their apostate status which are parallel, as we see now in hindsight.

Ignoring the 3rd UN placement while at the same time joining its advertising agency as a UN NGO while slipping that all past the sleeping JW guards (Matt25:5) was quite the Bethel successful stunt we must say. (All four UN presentations are foretold, 2)

7. But what was first an initial “lifting themselves” over Bethel and all Jehovah’s witnesses in 1976, has now grown to global proportions in 2012 in their latest “we are the faithful and discreet slave!” global bombastic stunt at but another “historic Annual Meeting”. Its going to make apostate history all right.

8. Thus obviously the “Governing Body” is a literal blatant matured example of lawless men “lifting themselves over everyone” not just in the Christian ministry, but over all earth. In the same manner as the Catholic Papacy, so too today’s Jehovah’s witnesses and Bethel have their own collective “Pope” in the “Governing Body” assuming such power and complimentary lawlessness under a veneer of scriptural claims accepted gradually; it is the same thing, just a different age and clown suit. The thing is the “Governing Body” and 8th King pulled it all off much quicker and right under the nose of Jehovah’s witnesses.

9. Now we see the latest Governing Body “lifting themselves over everyone” has intensified further in blasphemy. Now the “lift up” is over the whole world in the “faithful and discreet slave” “new light” application of that self approval, premature of the final temple judgment, to the “Governing Body” alone. Now the core blasphemy of an illegal anti-Christian body of the “operation of error” goes further in blasphemous climax into “lifting themselves over everyone” in this fashion, including Christ and God and all anointed, and even the whole world in the Governing Body’s latest pompous statements.

10. It is not insignificant that the Governing Body Bethel version “king north” is going out “on top” in this pinnacle of also “publicly showing” themselves in this apex blasphemy at global proportions as led by the 8th King “King North” in Daniel 11:32.

Jehovah’s witnesses now also have their own “King North” protégé right at Bethel in this Governing Body of Grandiosity, who have their own version of the “grandiose words” of their true 8th King masters. (Dan7:11,20);

11. The “sits down in the temple of The God” in this “publicly showing himself” display of pre-self-ordained “divine immortal” hubris by this latest Governing Body stunt is how their apostasy is now terminally “seated” “in the temple” in global public fashion as well. It can get no worse as far as their lawless self-exalting blasphemy and it displays the “King North” related character of their 8th King masters described in the prophecy.

A. As far as their own blasphemy they can go no further, and in line with their own self-judged and self-appointed “faithful and discreet” claims they are at the pinnacle of fraudulent “seated” divine claims. (Dan8:23a “the transgressors act to a completion”);

“Consequently, Jesus will reward [the Governing Body] by resurrecting the individual members of that group to heavenly life and by giving them royal authority over all Christ’s belongings in heaven and on earth.” (Annual Meeting Report, 10/6/2012);

12. It is now surreal, the Bethel “man of lawlessness” hidden in plain sight – but too high to see, on their throne in final form. God can now pay them the visit. (Isa66:6). But in fact more is yet in store from lawless Bethel.
